A procedure for measurement of ventilation effectiveness in residential buildings
AbstractVentilation effectiveness is expressed by two newly defined terms: relative contaminant removal effectiveness and removal efficiency. The relative removal effectiveness is defined as the relative ratio between the rate of contaminant removal and rate of room air replacement. The removal efficiency is the percentage of the total generated contaminant removed by purpose-provided openings. A series of tracer gas tests was performed to simulate the contaminant migration and the removal of the contaminant generated by a point source in a residential building. The values of relative removal effectiveness are calculated from test results. The removal efficiency is then obtained from the values of relative removal effectiveness for two concerned tests. The new terms can be used to assess the air quality related building problems and help in the design stage in decisions among alternative schemes.
